My favorite late-night snack is almond butter, no bread, eaten with a spoon, from the jar, preferably standing up in the kitchen. It's what I'm eating in tonight's insomniac journey.

What's you favorite late-night snack?

I try not to eat late at night because it slows down my meds from working. But I'm with you on the standing in the kitchen with a spoon and a jar of, in my case, peanut butter. Lol.

No late night snacks for me. My heart burn will wake me up.

I start to get hungry about 2 am so I try to eat a little snack before I take a shower. 3 chocolate chip cookies. Anything chocolate.

I generally don't have late night snacks at all.

On the other hand, carbs are known to potentially increase serotonin, and so could be of some help in sleeping. And if you awaken with hunger pangs, you probably need something a bit more nutritionally dense later in the day.

So I think I've found the perfect late night snack, if I ever need one: peanut butter filled pretzels. I eat them every now and then, substantial with just a couple.
